Advisor
Eli Lily and Company
Class of 2016
Angelo isn’t limited by borders—he goes where
the best opportunities are.
Whatʼs your background?
I am a scientist and, prior to Hult, was
based in Shanghai, designing drugs for a
pharmaceutical company. As soon as I joined
Hult, the management in my organization started
including me in a number of cross-functional
projects with increasing responsibility.
And how did this play out?
Soon after graduation, my company offered my
family and me a relocation package to the U.S.
in a role with broader scope and reach.
What was the toughest part?
It was very intense juggling family, work, and
studies. My Hult EMBA was the most challenging
but also the most stimulating experience of my
life. I didnʼt think I could learn so much, in so
little time, while having so much fun.
